    I have a 130 slt as well and for many years I've been using a barlow for prime focus no problem. The barlow I have screws directly to the T-ring, thus it pulls the focus in a little closer.

  • @tedwilliams3875

    Unfortunately not all telescopes have the 1.25 eyepiece adapter that unscrews to attach the extender tube or T-ring and you need to use the T adapter that you set aside or an extender tube with a wide 2 inch thread. Like for example the Dobsonian I use which is the Zhumell Z8 has a 2 inch focuser with the 1.25 adapter that goes inside. However that 1.25 adapter does not unscrew to attack a T-ring or extension tube like yours does so you will need that little 1.25 adapter ring that you set aside to be screwed into the extension tube and then into your telescope 1.25 focuser. If I want to attach that extension tube or T-ring directly to my scope, I need to use a 2 inch wide adapter since my 1.25 adapter does not screw together. Any celestron, Sky Watcher or Orion Xt series scopes comes with that type of 1.25 Adapter that unscrews to attach the camera prime. So when you watch this video, make sure your scope has that type of 1.25 focuser adapter that unscrews to attach items to it and make sure yours is not like mine witch does not unscrew but comes out leaving the 2 inch focuser threaded for attachments. :) As for shooting prime. On most all Newtonians you need to use a barlow lens or unless the scope has a short focal length.

  • @imarcus1973
    @imarcus19735 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for the video tutorial, you've confirmed what I've been trying WILL work! My question is, does the distance from the eyepiece to the sensor matter, or is all focussing done simply by focussing the scope normally? I struggled to get an image on the camera as sharp as I could see it through the eyepiece? Im using a skywatcher 130 / 900 telescope. I tried running my fuji xt1 on the scope in prime and the image of saturn / jupiter is tiny. With a 2x barlow and a 18mm eyepiece in a similar setup to yours I found that the image is larger and brighter ( 1/3 sec ss vs 1/30 both @ iso 1600) but not very sharp at all. Cheers, Mark,

Do you do that often or can you do a video on how to do that? My mount started tracking bad when I add the weight of the camera, now I can't get it to align anymore. I was thinking maybe I should clean the gears.
